Problems with a power Stering Pump, Need some Facts. Options

[D-Man]

Okay, so my PS pump was installed by it's previous owner Now the problem here is that it's been leaking.

I just keep filling it up, but people are bitching about it; so it needs to get fixed.

I got ahold of the previous owner; and some mention of "The standard washers are not installed, its just 2 grounding connections being used for washers" was mentioned. WTF?!

So i ask what washer, and he replys "IDK"

now i'm looking at this happy blue-print (thanks to much SEARCH function You guys would be astonished how much you can learn using it )



Now my photoshop wont save when i try to highlight the part, but you see that big black diamond? Says "Gasket" next to it? I think this is where the problem could be.

My question is this Is there anywhere else that "2 washers" go; or could go, that would cause a leak (in the power steering fluid) when improperly installed? Rather it be farther down the line or farther up, Is there any other place i could expect to be leaking due to these "washers"?

Thanks guys.

Also, I cannot find this gasket from toyota... they have no idea what i'm talking about... Any idea's on what to use to close this thing off?

(i'm thinking Copper washers would flex into place about right; while maintaining the stregnth to not break or bend...)

toyota world has a seal kit

Seal kit, celica, gt - power - POWER 95-99 $38.73 $29.43 maybe? IDK
